I have no evidence that Malkin has worked on his faceoff capabilities, but during camp, I can distinctly remember him beating Crosby 3 or 4 times in a row in the offensive zone. He was 9-14 last night.

Faceoffs are a progression thing. Very few can come into the league and succeed in the circle. Staal was a dominant faceoff man in juniors and he's just starting winning more the last couple months of last season. I doubt Malkin will be a great faceoff man, but he'll be quite as horrible in the future.
